Haunted Houses on Long Island

Long Island is home to some of the New York area’s most elaborate haunted houses and Halloween scare attractions, ranging from large professional scream parks and theatrical haunted productions to historic mansion haunts, outdoor terror trails, and community-run Halloween fundraisers. This guide focuses strictly on haunted attractions in Nassau County and Suffolk County.

Among the best-known haunted attractions on Long Island are Bayville Scream Park, Gateway’s Haunted Playhouse, Darkside Haunted House, Darkness Rising, Schmitt’s Farm Haunt, Restless Souls Haunted House Complex, Deepwells Haunted Mansion, Yaphank Trail of Terror, and Spooky Walk at Camp Pa-Qua-Tuck. The 2026 Halloween season is still being announced, so this page distinguishes attractions with confirmed 2026 dates from active haunts whose fall calendars have not yet been released.

Scare Levels

Our scare-level guide is intended as a practical comparison rather than an official rating from the attractions. ★☆☆ indicates a comparatively mild haunt or toned-down experience, ★★☆ indicates a traditional haunted attraction with significant scares, and ★★★ indicates an attraction primarily designed for teens and adults seeking an intense haunted-house experience. Individual tolerance varies, and parents should review each attraction’s own age recommendations before purchasing tickets.

How We Chose These Haunted Attractions

This directory is intentionally narrower than a general Halloween-events guide. To be included, an attraction must operate as a haunted house, haunted trail, scream park, haunted mansion, or comparable scare-focused walk-through experience on Long Island. Pumpkin patches, ordinary corn mazes, fall festivals, jack-o’-lantern displays, museum Halloween programs, and general children’s events are excluded unless they operate a distinct haunted attraction.

We prioritize attractions with an official website or an established operating organization, a verifiable Long Island location, and evidence of recent seasonal operation. Attractions that have closed are removed rather than left in the directory; for example, the former Chambers of Hell in Hauppauge closed in 2025 and is not included as an active haunt. Seasonal dates, prices, themes, and hours can change, so visitors should always confirm details with the attraction before traveling.

Planning a Haunted House Night

October Fridays and Saturdays are usually the busiest nights at major Long Island haunts. Buying timed tickets in advance can reduce the chance of a sellout, while fast-pass options may be worthwhile at the largest attractions. Outdoor trails can close because of rain or unsafe conditions, so weather-sensitive attractions should be checked on the day of your visit. Closed-toe shoes are a good idea for trails, farms, dark walk-throughs, and attractions with uneven ground.

From elaborate professional productions to volunteer-run haunted trails, Long Island offers an unusually varied collection of Halloween scare attractions within a relatively compact region. Whether you want a full evening at a scream park, a theatrical walk-through, a historic mansion haunt, or a dark trail through the woods, this guide is designed to help you compare the Island’s established haunted attractions and find the experience that fits your group.
